Little Weeds

The kids are growing so fast. Here they are at Reid park playing with the pigeons. I just love Zade's little strut (he swings his arms across his chest when he runs):


When we're playing at home, if we're not careful, we'll turn around and find one of the kids playing in their birthday suit. They're so carefree:


Here's a typical glimpse of life in our family room (always slightly chaotic). And of course, Zade is advertising his favorite thing in the world: his "bah bah". One neat development is Zade is really starting to understand most everything we say to him, and he's saying a lot more words now like: blue berries, car, cup, I want XXX, no, uh huh, kitty, etc....


Poor Zade, we have so many girl toys, and hardly anything for boys. It's a travesty. He's such a trooper for putting up with it. (By the way, this is his classic bottle drinking pose, with one arm propped up.) You'll also notice he's not wearing a disposable diaper. Tara's also started hanging out with an earthy mommies group, so cloth diapering is now back in vogue. :)


Strangely enough, Tara was going through an old photo album of hers and realized that both she and Aria had a Strawberry Shortcake party for their 3rd birthdays. I'm amazed that brand is still going.
